I am trying to create a new website on an IIS server that has websites that use Windows authentication. However, for the life of me, I cannot understand why my new site is refusing access (401.2)
Basically, I create a new site and add one .html file ("Hello, World"). I can access it just fine. But disconnect Anonymous, leaving in Windows Authentication, I get a request for ID / PWD, always ending 401.2
So, I decided to create a new website as a copy of an existing working site on the same web server. I even walked away and added that the new website has the same application pool and the same physical path. Thus, as far as I can tell, the only possible differences between the two sites are now the IIS configuration of the two sites. Still cannot authenticate.
I switched the bindings does not help.
I even compared the settings in applicationHost.config, making sure they are equal.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
